The DNS that everyone on earth but the few hundred loonies use.

The fact that if you put a URL on the side of a bus using one of

Yes, lets have chaos so no one can send anyone else mail because no
two machines share the same idea of the global namespace. It will
reduce the number of messages like yours I have to read.
